Title: Help please. Can anyone fix/replace knife blades?
Post by: Oisín on July 25, 2011

Hey guys, I have a wee enquiry.

I have a small pen knife that has been in the family for atleast 50 + years. My Grandad gave it to my dad when he was a kid, and I was given it when I was about 8. I've come across it recently and remembered the blade is half broke. I broke it foolishly trying to cut chicken wire while I was on a secret army mission in a classified location aka the bottom of my garden.

The knife itself is only about 2 inches and the blade is about 1.5.

Anyone know of anyone that can help? I'm sure this is a fair place to start.

Thanks.

Any work being done on it I would ask for someone else to do it. Then I'd pay them. I would end up taking it apart and breaking something then getting angry and leaving it be. :D

might be worth posting on british blades?

failing that I used to use the kitchen forum on knifeforums.com in the us, lots of knife makers etc on there who could do the repair as well.

I've had a couple of custom knives made in the states via that site.
